摘要

This study investigates the effects of severe plastic deformation (80% cold-rolling) and subsequent annealing treatment (780 °C for 1–20 min) on the microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution of Ti-15V-3Sn-3Cr-3Al (Ti-15333). EBSD analysis revealed that cold rolling produced elongated grains, numerous low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), and pronounced shear bands (SBs). These deformation-induced defects served as preferential nucleation sites for recrystallization. A high density of SBs was observed in deformed γ-fiber grains, which exhibited a high Taylor factor (M), whereas α- and θ-fiber grains showed low M values. After partial annealing for 1 min, the evolution of {332}< \(\overline{11 }3\) 11 ¯ 3 > and {221}< \(\overline{11 }4\) 11 ¯ 4 > components was observed. With further annealing, a texture transition occurred from deformation-induced α-fiber and E ({111}<110>) extures to recrystallized γ-fiber F {111}<112> and (24, 0-40, 45)° fiber texture. Intermediate annealing stages were characterized by dominant Cube orientations, which disappeared after 20 min due to grain coarsening. This study demonstrates how texture refinement and strain-induced recrystallization can optimize the strength-ductility trade-off in Ti-15333.
